Heavy Heart | Miraculous Ladybug

Ever since the day when Mari's mother hit and won the case for Felicity Leong. The paparazzi would not lay off of Mari. When Mari walked to school with Adrien the paparazzi surrounded them. He wasn't much fazed by it because he had to face all of it before and he was used to it. Though instead of being annoyed by the paparazzi he answered questions and sort of made it all about him. Usually the same questions were thrown at them each day like: "Are you going to propose to Marinette Cheng?!" Or. "How does your father react about this?!"

Then there were ones directly at Mari like: "How do you feel about your mother's uprise?!" Or. "Will you take over the business in the future?!"

Mostly class C7 was annoyed by it because when the paparazzi found out about their families they started bugging them. Adrien was rather wrapped up taking signatures and taking photos. Sometimes it felt like he wasn't there anymore. It was on week one and the paparazzi were still at them. Adrien came by Mari's place around one PM on a Saturday talking about stuff.

Time came around and Mari worked up her courage to tell him. "Adrien?" She said getting up looking out the window seeing the crowd of paparazzi.

"Yeah?" He asked starting towards her.

"Remember our plans tonight?"

"Yep."

"I...I don't want to go."

"What? You mean out?"

"Yeah."

"But you always go out with your friends from class C7. We can take the helicopter."

"No, it's just not the paparazzi. It's you."

"What do you mean?" He asked sternly.

"Whenever the paparazzi faces us you put all your attention in them and take autographs during our time."

"I mean, that is how I was told to do things."

"Well, everything is fine how it is other than my mom and Lila."

"No, nothing is fine right now. You are just pushing me away because of those people. You hang out more with class C7 now that you forget about me." He hissed while his patience was decreasing.

"I just can't do this anymore!" She yelled. "This whole crazy rich life that I am stuck in! My life is never going to be normal!"

"You're fooling with me right now Marinette! Does it look like my whole life before I met you was easy with no paparazzi?! I am just giving them satisfaction! Welcome to the rich people life!"

"I was already welcomed when I left! The thing that pisses me off to hell is that you spend more time with the paparazzi than with me when we have alone time out in public!"

"Well you spend more time with those rich snobs than with me in public!"

"Looks like we have across purposes! You have an affair with the paparazzi while I have an affair with class C7?!"

"Yes! Wow, it took you that long to realize that?!"

"Listen Adrien. The main reason why I hang out more with them now is because they actually want to talk to me in public. Why won't you just do the same?"

"Why? They hate me. All of them hate me. Just because I'm not one of them. Have you noticed at the party at Wang's that I only hung out with the Bustier's class. I have no relation to them."

She realized that she never noticed that about them. She slowly walked towards him reaching out for his hand but he moved away like a scared alley cat. "Listen Marinette. I can't be someone who I am not."
